    Ingredients

    3 ingredient microwave fudge

    Dark chocolate chips. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips, or a combination of a few different types of chocolate. Since there are only a few ingredients in this recipe, use good quality chocolate.

    Mint chocolate baking chips. Mint chocolate baking chips melt into the chocolate mixture and create a fun topping for the fudge. I use Andes baking chips.

    Sweetened condensed milk. One 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk turns melted chocolate into rich, decadent, creamy fudge.

    Optional Ingredients:

    Salt. A little bit of salt, about ½ teaspoon, enhances the rest of the flavors of the fudge.

    Vanilla extract. Add a splash of vanilla or even a few drops of peppermint extract to enhance the chocolate flavor even further!

    Topping ideas. Try crushed candy canes or broken mint Oreo cookies instead of -- or in addition to -- the Andes mint chocolate chips.

    Step-by-step Instructions

    Line an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

    To keep parchment paper from slipping around the pan, brush the sides with a little butter first.

    Place the chocolate chips, ½ cup of Andes baking chips, and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl.

    Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until the melted chocolate and condensed milk mixture is smooth, and creamy. Do not boil.

    Pour the fudge mixture and spread it evenly into the prepared pan with a knife or offset spatula.

    Immediately sprinkle ½ cup of Andes mint baking chips on top of the fudge and gently press them into the fudge.

    Cover with aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours to set.

    Before cutting the fudge, remove it from the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to cut and keep it from splintering. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into small squares, wiping the blade between cuts, if necessary.

    Storage & Freezing

    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks or in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.

    To freeze, wrap the fudge in wax paper, then again in foil, and pop it in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to a couple of months.

    Expert Tips

    Add the Andes mint chocolate chips to the top of the fudge while it's still soft.

    For fudge squares with clean edges, cut fudge that's been chilled in the refrigerator for a few hours.

    Make a batch of this fudge ahead of time and stash it in the freezer for the holidays or last-minute snacking.

    Recipe FAQs

    How long do you let fudge cool before cutting?

    Chill the fudge for a few hours to let it completely cool and firm up so it's easier to cut. Take it out of the fridge for 5-10 minutes before cutting to keep it from cracking.

    How do you slice homemade fudge?

    To make clean, even cuts of fudge, first remove the fudge from the pan and place it on a cutting board. If you're going for perfectly square cubes of fudge, use a sharp knife to trim off the uneven edges. If it is difficult to cut, try warming the blade under hot water.

    Measure out how large you would like your squares to be and lightly score the fudge horizontally and vertically. Cut the fudge into even strips, wiping the blade between cuts, if necessary. Line up the strips and cut them one or two at a time into equally sized cubes.

    Can I freeze homemade fudge?

    Yes. Homemade fudge freezes really well. Wrap it in wax paper and again in foil, then place it in a freezer bag. Freeze it for up to 3 months.
